Paystar 5000
 

I thought I had this thread posted here. Not sure where this build is going.Frirst thought was doing the KONG wrecker,or a plow truck.I,m thinking now to do an old school dump truck or heavy haul.Here are some pics of the build. http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/...Picture525.jpg http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/...Picture489.jpg http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/...Picture497.jpg http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/...Picture500.jpg http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/...Picture508.jpg http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/...Picture528.jpg http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/...Picture547.jpg http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/...Picture954.jpg I have it on a 6X6 chassis for mock up.

Re: Paystar 5000
 

You make it look so simple..... but i know its not!! GREAT work!!!

Re: Paystar 5000
 

Now that's one really tough looking machine. It looks fantastic, great work!

Re: Paystar 5000
 

you are one busy man pumping out sweet trucks that pay star looks spot on!

Re: Paystar 5000
 

Thats sweet! Nice work.

Re: Paystar 5000
 

Thanks!Im pleased with it.
Thanks! Believe it or not It came together fairly easy.At least I wasnt talking to myself during the build.lol
Thanks! I always liked the paystar they looked mean.
Thanks!I built this a while back, just forgot to post it.
Thanks!

Re: Paystar 5000
 

That looks mean, a real industrial looking beast.
Reminds me of this KW truck: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YLKaLw1ksTs

Re: Paystar 5000
 

sweet video did you here that thing come to a idle at the end! real diesel clatter

Re: Paystar 5000
 

I need some input on this build.Heavy hauler or Dump truck?????? Took the cab of my other project to get an idea of what way to go.It only made it worse.Lets hear some feedback. http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/...star/002-1.jpg http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/...aystar/004.jpg http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/...aystar/005.jpg http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/...aystar/006.jpg The heavy haul would have 2 winches,aluminum headache rack,aluminum fenders,beacon and work lights.

Re: Paystar 5000
 

i like the dump route but mainly cause i want one lol. I like the way it looks there with the dump body but i personally would make it a tandom instead of a tri. just my .02.. Either way it'll look great!!

Re: Paystar 5000
 

Great job on the cab and dumpbox. It should not be a problem to make it both a dump truck and heavy hauler, just make sure the box is easy to remove.

Re: Paystar 5000
 

Any up date?

Re: Paystar 5000
 

Re: Paystar 5000
 

I like the dump as well,but not happy with the box I built after seeing some of the other hand built ones.So I might go heavy haul.
Thanks.I wish it was that easy.
Nope.Waiting on parts and working on my other projects.Never enough time or money.
Thanks.The multi colored rims would nail it for sure.I ordered a set of 6 spoke daytons From Steve, just waiting.Those daytons would give it the right old school look needed.I would like to find some one who could build me a more realistic dump bed.I dont like the stamped metal ones from garden trucking,so I'm at a stand still on this build.

Re: Paystar 5000
 

in my opinion that truck is tough no matter what and havent seen any others. i also think dump or concrete mixer cause i drove a paystar concrete truck for cemstone here in st. paul and if you missed a gear it hurt your hand!

Re: Paystar 5000
 

I think you might be right about the mixer,just put the cab on my mixer.Bad a$$.Thanks for your input I'll try to post some pics this week.

Re: Paystar 5000
 

yep it was front wheel drive with 2 pusher axles and 1 tag axle that thing would go through anything except 6 feet of sand . snapped a drive shaft when she got a hoppin!

Re: Paystar 5000
 

Pulled it down from the shelf and done a little work to it.6x6 chassis, RC4WD r2 trans and punisher shafts, 55t motor.I'm gonna mount the headache rack and winch after I make a deck plate. It's my heavy haul truck, for my perimeter trailerHere are some pics dust included. http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/...star/002-2.jpg http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/...star/003-2.jpg http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/...star/004-1.jpg http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/...star/005-1.jpg http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/...star/007-1.jpg

Re: Paystar 5000
 

Fred, this rig is perfect. Loving the 6x6, can't wait to see it hooked up and rolling. VERY NICE work.

Re: Paystar 5000
 

Thanks Keith. Years ago I built a paystar glider for Martin ent. It was a tri axle, ill see if i can find some pics. They run these trailers, heavy haul and demolition. So I thought it would be the right truck for the trailer. Thanks for letting it go.

Re: Paystar 5000
 

I love where this is going, that trailer is an absolute beast!
It would look sweet with those red spoke wheels on it too.

Re: Paystar 5000
 

Looking great Fred!!! This one is going to be a sweet looking combo!

Re: Paystar 5000
 

Fred the truck is looking good, always a fan of "Heavy".:cool: Is there a build thread on the trailer?

Re: Paystar 5000
 

It's coming along really well Fred. :) It's really starting to look like a truck. :p

I agree with TRUCKMAKER: I'd love to see how the trailer's being built and follow it's progress. :D :D

Wow, Fred that's a lot of trailer. Gonna look awesome.

Re: Paystar 5000
 

Fred,Thanks for the link to the trailer build thread! This is the kind of equipment I like. Also nice pictures you added. I do like the black wheels on the Paystar glider you built, the model would look good with them too.

Re: Paystar 5000
 

Thanks Mario!! Hoping to get more done this weekend.
Thanks Keith! That thing is huge!!!
Thanks!The glider I built was the top pick from Martin.
